Easter is a holiday that comes in spring. The word "Easter" comes from an old word for the spring season, when flowers bloom and baby birds hatch from their eggs. For many Christian families in the West, Easter Sunday is a special day to remember an important story.

But Easter is also a happy holiday for children around the world. Long ago, families in Germany started telling kids that a friendly bunny came every Easter morning to hide colorful eggs in the garden. Children would wake up early, take their baskets, and run outside to hunt for the eggs.

Today, families everywhere celebrate Easter with painted eggs, chocolate bunnies, and big springtime meals. It is a cheerful day to welcome the new flowers, the longer afternoons, and the warm sunshine of April.

復活節是西方春天的節日。「Easter」一詞源自古英語「春天」的意思。對許多基督徒家庭來說，復活節星期日是紀念耶穌復活的特別日子。但對全世界的孩子而言，復活節也是充滿樂趣的節日——德國最早出現了「復活節兔子在花園藏蛋」的故事，孩子們提著籃子尋找彩蛋。今天的復活節有彩蛋、巧克力兔、春日大餐，是迎接春天的快樂時刻。
